Hallelujah

See? All it took was a very, very, very successful surge, signs from the US congress that they were fed up with Maliki (and the hiring of the top GOP lobbying firm in DC) and we are suddenly seeing .... political progress! (And it's because of the "less sectarian" secular guys too. What a huge relief...)

The plan is clearly working. I think we need to give it at least three more FUs to give the Iraqi politicians a chance to see if they can take advantage of the great opportunity we've given them with the very, very, very successful surge. And if they do topple Maliki (fingers crossed!) then we really should extend at least a couple more FUs. The new guy's going to need some breathing space.
